Although this question doesn’t pertain to a music library, it’s still relevant to music licensing. I’m curious about people’s opinions regarding the licensing opportunity website [link removed].
I submitted to three opportunities some months back, but have since stopped. Any thoughts regarding the site’s legitimacy? Seems to be legit, but I think it’s relatively new, and there seems to be little information about it online.
@kingseamus: I have removed the link and changed your topic title as we don’t get into “Pay To Play” sites on MLR. Early on I did allow them but they quickly turned into flame wars and threats of legal action from one notable company.
One more thing. Personally, I would stay away from pay to play sites.

I second that…
Yeah, it`s somehow a weird imagination of pay to get played sites….:-)
What’s the definition of a ‘pay to play’ site? There are some sites whereby submission fees are involved and the sites are very legit. Most of my library contracts (and resulting placements) are a result of paid submission fees.
In any field, there are legit and not-so-legit players. I recently licensed music for an ad campaign via a so called ‘pay to play’ site.
I know we can’t get into specific names here and I don’t want to start that type of discusssion. Just wanted to say I can’t see painting with a broad brush.
😀
I agree with Advice. Not all of these sites are bad. I know a couple of composers that have submitted to website that charges a small submission fee and have gotten placements with license payouts that cover those submission fees 10 times over.
Well.. I have not tried this. I am planning to join one of them next month and give it a try!!
